Whew! Saved by the bell as it were. lol. Thanks everyone, it was a lot of fun, and especially thank you to Bot Behind the Screen and Overseer Tyranius. Much appreciated!
Taking a guarded step forward, practically falling over, Surge rakes his claws across the Jinsul ”Just... die... already.”
Feeling the healing energies jolt him back to consciousness, Surge springs back to his feet.
weapon was dropped when ko’d:
Spending a move action to reform the yellow, glowing claws on his hand and look as menacing as possible. weapon was NOT dropped when ko’d:
Making a desperate attempt to fend of the monster on the ship, Surge lashes out with his sharp claws.
Stepping back closer to the doorway, just out of sight from the creature, Surge gestures for one of those on the bridge to secure the door shut. ”I’m gonna chop off those legs and send em through the plasma coils.”
Moving up the hallway and ducking into an alcove, spotting the enemy that has moved into view, but keeping an eye on the hallway behind us so no new threats sneak by
Nodding gratefully at Xaric. "Thanks for that" Surge drinks a MK1 Healing Serum As the new wave of enemies approaches, still not feeling quite right, Surge still extends his claws and prepares to wade into battle again. "Come get some! You're not going to stop us from bringing our friends and family home!" Moving a bit and readying to strike any new foes that come into his reach. Readied Attack:
Taking a guarded step, Surge tries to bury his claws in the remaining creature.
”Is there any way to lock one of those doors to the bridge? We need to keep ‘em outta there” Moving forward, Surge rolls to try and dodge any attack from yellow, then slashes at green with his claws
Charging up his solar weapon again, Surge steps to the door and keeps an eye out for enemies that may approach, readying a strike if one gets within range. Readied Attack:
Moving up and attempting to roll past the blue bug.
Then slashing at the creature from the side.
Bounding forward, eager to smash some faces, Surge charges up his solar weapon, forming the now familiar claws upon his hand. ”Let’s go bugs.”
Readied attack:
”Step it up Andromeda. You can do this.” Captain: using piloting, DC10
Captain:
”Let’s do this people!”
Yes, Pegasus had 3 votes to 2 for the Drake . As for positions, this was the breakdown from before. I think everyone was ok with them, yes? Engineer & Science Officer: Helios
Full attack on the creature.
Taking a guarded step again, still trying to put himself between the plant beastie and the survivors, then letting loose with his claws.
Taking a guarded step, Surge moves in closer to the creature, still trying to keep himself between the minster and the survivors. ”Let’s go people. Your ride is waiting.”
Double moving up and around to interpose myself between the beast and the survivors.
As the volley of needles flies towards Surge he slices them to shreds with his claws. "Oh I see. Guess I'll have to come to you then." Moving forward he positions himself between green and red, in a potentially dangerous spot, but advantageous to his allies.
Attacking with a frenzy, Surge tries to get to the root of this plant problem.
Moving closer to the plant creatures, Surge reaches out and activates his weapon crystal. The yellow glow enveloping his hand and shaping itself into the familiar claws. "Wellllll then, doubt these folks will want to talk it out, so let's get to slicin' and dicin'"
"All this talk of old planets and Gaps. Isn't that where you find dragons? Either way, it's not really something I know much about. What I do know is that this place you're talking about, it's not real. This whole place is not real." Surge gestures around to the various bits of the sim that can be seen. "I like tech and all, but this place is starting to creep me out a little bit."
”Yeah, once we get you folks outta here, we can get a real race going. I’ll see you on the track some time, we can put your moves to the test” Surge will pantomime riding an enercycle.
Smiling as he approaches and picking up on the distraction Helios created. "Oh man, these look like some classics, but yeah, what Helios here was saying is, and it looks like you all are starting to catch on to, this place isn't exactly what it appears to be. Sorry folks, but you're in a simulation. Now, I get that may be hard to believe, but we're hoping to convince you to come on back out of this place, even though it's pretty dang cool in here."
Motioning to the barkeep, then gesturing towards Ardoc’s cup as if to say, one of these, Surge then nods to Ardoc. ”Works for me.” He flexes his hands a bit and checks to make sure all his equipment is still ready, just in case.
Relaying the broadest info on our current mission. "And that is what brought us out here. Nothing more, nothing less. "
Telepathically in turn to our crew. <Has anyone run this name through our database? Or tried to contact back with the main fleet to see if they have a record of a Katryn Mathius or Empyrean Eye>
”Whatever happened to you and your crew, we're not here to fight you, but if you are Starfinders, we could use your help looking for our missing people. Part of that whole cooperate piece of the motto”
ultimately, we need to decide on a ship, because it's looking like combat may be coming soon. i'll repost the stats, with better formatting this time, and excluding the maiden. . Pegasus guns: 4 (forward, port, starboard, turret)
+1 to 2 checks per round, +2 computers, +1 piloting. Drake guns: 3 (turret, laser [broad arc], and missile [limited ammo])
+1 to 3 checks per round. i personally prefer a faster ship with the static bonuses, so i'm voting pegasus, but majority can decide. i'm happy to roll my dice either way.
np np. part of slotting the Maiden boon is that the whole table has to agree to use it. so, if vecro is saying no, the maiden is not an option to use. i just hope our pilot rolls well. with only a front gun for that 3rd seat, we will need to make sure the front is pointed toward at least one enemy on the field.
”Hello there Katryn, we’ve come here to find some of our lost friends. They were separated from us and we were hoping to find clues or even survivors. Have you happened across any lost ships in the area?”
i'm fine with whatever ship we pick. :) here's a comparison chart for folks. pegasus drake maiden
pegasus and maiden grant +1 to 2 checks per round plus +2 computers and +1 piloting
statwise, the maiden is slightly better in a couple spots, but i will say, the damage on her guns IS lower on average than the other two ships as well. the turrets are 3d6 vs the drake with 4d4 and 4d8 (missile) or the pegasus with a 4d4
Sitting in the captains chair, Surge looks over to Andromeda. ”The... uh, fourth toggle sometimes sticks. So, you know....” He turns his attention to the screen displaying the derelict ships. ”Sunny, you ready in case there’s any trouble?” The ship A.I. speaks cheerfully over the ships speakers. ”Ready, Steady, Cap’n”
works for me. if we go with the drake it has a turret and missile launcher (limited ammo) that can shoot in all directions. the sunrise maiden has a total of 5 guns, though her best is the turret and aft. so, gotta keep the other ships behind her for best damage potential.

Still fighting the nausea from the bugs, Surge braces as one of the creatures moves towards him, not noticing as the other attacks from the side, temporarily blinding him. Still aware of the beast in front of him, he tries to slash at it with his claws.
Pulling out one of the looted Battle Cestus's as well as activating my Solar Weapon Mote.
Sliding smoothly into the familiar chair, Surge glides the ship towards the smaller rock.
Rubbing his shoulder a bit and pulling any weapons off of the unconscious starfinders he can find. "I guess I shouldn't be so surprised that they were tough. They are Starfinders after all. But, maybe give me a few minutes to catch my breath?"
Wincing slightly at the pain as the series of hits has managed to draw blood. "Listen, we're here trying to save you. Don't make us end you instead."
Turning his attention towards yellow. ”It’s not too late to stop this you know.” Surge then moves past yellow, positioning behind them and will attempt to bonk ‘em on the noggin.
Feeling a bit disappointed that he hadn’t thought of using less lethal tactics, Surge switches things up and tries to attack green again. Guarded step up to try and block retreat, then attack
Also, ranged attacks vs green will get a +1 to hit from Coordinated Shot
"Well... this doesn't seem promising. They have the uniform, but something seems... off" Moving towards green, the glowing yellow mote forms up into a set of sharp looking claws on one hand.
Flipping a few switches and focusing as hard as he can, Surge attempts to control the descent.
”Nah, Andromeda, try like this. Everyone, hang onto something” Surge hops in the pilot seat and gives it a shot.
Checking out any camera feeds to see how the ship is holding up
Attempting to recall info about Whiskan.
